In the North River Art House, Zhao Wushuang walked to a room.

When she reached the door, she wiped the tears from her eyes and knocked.

There was no respond in the room.

"Brother Ning, are you in there?" Zhao Wushuang asked.

A few seconds later, Ning Tao's voice came from the room. "Yes, wait a moment."

Then the door opened and Ning Tao appeared in front of Zhao Wushuang. He had his medicine chest in his hand and wore a starchy suit, s.h.i.+ny shoes and a straight tie. He, tall and slim, with a handsome face, had a sense of affinity, which made him easy to get close to.

Seeing Ning Tao, Zhao Wushuang's grievance and depression in her heart suddenly vanished into thin air, and her eyes glowed with a strange light. "Brother Ning, you look good in suit."

Ning Tao smiled and said, "It's a special occasion, and I can't dress casually. I don't want to wear it normally. It's uncomfortable. All right, come on. Let's go to the hall. The guests must be getting impatient."

At the mention of going down the hall, Zhao Wushuang's mood soured. "Huai Kebing sent Chen Tiansheng to make trouble here. He threatened people who came to the charity party not to buy your delicate perfumed cream or ask you to treat them."

"Huai Kebing? That guy is a real pain in the neck. I'll check it out. As for Chen Tiansheng, I'm throwing him out." Ning Tao didn't seem to care.

Zhao Wushuang's mouth lit up with a smile. "You are Huai Kebing's nemesis. If you show up, Chen Tiansheng won't dare do any more mischief."

Ning Tao suddenly saw the tears in the corner of her eye and felt pity. He couldn't help lifting his hand and wiping the tears out of her eyes with the back of his hand. However, he regretted this knee-jerk move after he did it. A woman was crying, and he put out his hand to wipe her tears. What would she think?

In the good side, there were also situations that were beyond his control.

The look in Zhao Wushuang's eyes was visibly changed and she was breathing a little fast. She didn't say anything, but her reaction showed how strong her feelings were!

Ning Tao apologized immediately, "I'm sorry, I... see you have tears in your eyes, so..."

Zhao Wushuang's cheeks were pink, with a shy yet sweet smile tugging at her mouth. "You don't have to apologize to me. You can do..."

Her voice trailed off and she could not hear what she was saying.

The atmosphere between the two was awkward because of a gesture which was not indiscreet. Ning Tao hastily changed the subject. "Well, let's go. The guests must be getting tired of waiting."

Zhao Wushuang nodded and followed Ning Tao down the pa.s.sageway.

The hall was quiet except for Chen Tiansheng's voice.

"Why are you so quiet? Didn't you come to buy Doctor Ning's quack medicine? You don't have to have any concerns, and just buy whatever you want." Chen Tiansheng stood on the stage with a smirk of satisfaction on his face.

Guests at the charity party were so upset that some headed for the exit, not wanting to stay any longer. Some of the guests were whispering why Ning Tao didn't show up, and some declared that Ning Tao was scared by Huai Kebing and slipped away.

Chen Tiansheng's smile became broad. That was what he wanted. He was in a good mood, then snapped his fingers at a waiter and said, "Waiter, bring me a gla.s.s of red wine."

His good mood certainly called for a gla.s.s of wine to celebrate.

However, before the waiter could bring him a gla.s.s of wine, a voice said, "What do you think this place is for? How dare you run amok here! I'll give you 10 seconds to get out or I'll throw you out!"

All eyes were focused in the direction of the sound. There, a man and a woman walked over side by side. The man, wearing a starchy suit, had an imposing appearance, the woman, in a gorgeous evening dress, was breathtaking. They seemed like a perfect match.

"Who is that young man?"

"Is he Doctor Ning? He's so handsome and vigorous." One actress looked straight at Ning Tao as if she were looking at a beautiful dress designed by a fas.h.i.+on guru.

"Is he the doctor who cured Zhao Wushuang's face? No way. How can he be so good at medicine when he is so young?"

"No wonder Zhao Wushuang, such a big star, is willing to demonstrate her talent to a place like this. Doctor Ning looks good."

A murmur broke out in the hall.

On the stage, Chen Tiansheng's face darkened. As soon as Ning Tao showed up, he asked Chen Tiansheng to get out of here. How could Chen Tiansheng, who had always been conceited, not be angry? If it was anyone else, he would have been furious, but it was Ning Tao. He lost his courage to deal with Ning Tao when he remembered Ning Tao breaking Dongsun Li's legs and making Huai Kebing kneel down in Beidu Club.

Ning Tao headed for the stage and said in a loud voice, "Chen Tiansheng, didn't you hear me? I asked you to get out of here in 10 seconds. Did my words to you go in one ear and out the other?"

Ning Tao asked Chen Tiansheng to get out of here again.

Even a clay figure had its temper, let alone Chen Tiansheng!

"Who do you think you are?" Chen Tiansheng went red and shouted angrily. "Ning Tao, if you hurt me, I'll call the police!"

Chen Tiansheng's people quickly stepped onto the stage.

Chen Tiansheng was a little more confident. "I represent Young Master Huai. I will see who dare to buy your quack medicine today!"

Ning Tao also stepped onto the stage. In fact, 10 seconds had already pa.s.sed, but instead of striking Chen Tiansheng, he said, "You keep talking about Young Master Huai, but I remember vividly how he knelt down to me in Beidu Club. Call him. I want to see if he dare act up in front of me."

"You think too highly of yourself. I'll call Young Master Huai right away, and I'll see what you can do to him!" Chen Tiansheng already wanted to call Huai Kebing, so what Ning Tao said was exactly in line with his wishes. He took out his phone and sent Huai Kebing a video call request in WeChat.

Doo-doo...

It took almost a minute for the video call to get through, but instead of Huai Kebing, Tang Jiu appeared on the screen. Besides, there were a lot of people busy around him, some with fire extinguishers, some roaring with a phone. It was really a mess.

"What... what's going on?" Chen Tiansheng asked in great surprise.

"Is Ning Tao with you now?" Tang Jiu's voice sounded angry and tense.

"Yes." Chen Tiansheng didn't know why Tang Jiu asked him if Ning Tao was with him, but he unconsciously pointed the camera above the screen in Ning Tao's direction.

Ning Tao leaned over particularly and asked solemnly, "Where's Huai Kebing? Let me talk to him. I'd like to see how bossy he is, breaking up a charity party for an orphanage. If he doesn't deal with this, I'll immediately contact the media and expose him!"

"Are you Ning Tao?" Tang Jiu's voice came from the phone.

Ning Tao answered, "Yes, I am."

Tang Jiu glared at Ning Tao and snarled, "Young Master Huai is dead!"

"What?" Ning Tao looked shocked.

Tang Jiu continued grimly, "I hope it's none of your business, or you're dead!"

"What does Huai Kebing's death have to do with me? I didn't know he was dead until you told me. But it serves him right. I'm going to celebrate it with a bottle of champagne." Ning Tao laughed.

"Humph!" Tang Jiu snorted angrily and hung up the video call.

Chen Tiansheng still held his phone, motionless, and he hadn't even come to terms with Huai Kebing's death.

The heavy and oppressive atmosphere in the hall was swept away and the guests came alive.

"Huai Kebing is dead! What happened?"

"Isn't this weird? Just now he was on video, threatening us with something of a swagger not to buy Doctor Ning's medicine. How did he die so quickly? What happened?"

"That's a great news. Now he's dead, there is one less bully in show business. This circle will be much cleaner."

"Keep your voice down..."

"What should I afraid of? Huai Kebing is dead! Even if I call him a fool, what can he do to me?"

Amid the chaos, many of the guests smiled as if they were talking about a happy event.

Ning Tao moved his eyes to Chen Tiansheng's face and said, "Chen Tiansheng, your patron is down. Are you sure you want to keep messing around?"

"I..." Chen Tiansheng came back to himself, but he was still slightly dazed.

"Get out!" Ning Tao yelled.

Chen Tiansheng couldn't help s.h.i.+vering and didn't dare stay anymore. He didn't even walk the steps, and jumped off the stage. The men he had brought left with him. With Huai Kebing dead, who would dare to make trouble here?

Ning Tao walked over to the microphone, smiled, and said, "Good evening, my distinguished guests. I'm Ning Tao, and I'd like to apologize for the unpleasant things just now. I'm sorry that I didn't do a good job and made everyone unhappy."

With that, he bowed to the guests to apologize.

The hall instantly burst into applause.

Zhao Wushuang went up onto the stage and sang Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On. With her excellent singing ability, she sang wonderfully with a silver voice and deep feeling. Even Ning Tao, who had no interest in songs, had the feeling of sitting in the cinema watching t.i.tanic when he heard her singing.

Fan Huaying came up to Ning Tao, asked in a low voice, "Hey, Tao, what is this?"

"Do you mean the death of Huai Kebing?" Ning Tao asked back.

Fan Huaying nodded his head.

Ning Tao replied blandly, "I don't know. Like you, I have only just heard of it."

Fan Huaying lowered his voice and continued, "Is it really none of your business?"

Ning Tao smiled and said, "Huaying, what are you trying to say?"

Fan Huaying answered, "I was just worried about you. Don't get me wrong. I don't think it has something to do with you either. However, since you have a problem with Huai Kebing, I'm afraid that the police will investigate you and the Huai family will give you a hard time. I would like to remind you to be ready for this."

Ning Tao said lightly, "Then I'll deal with it. I'm not afraid of the Huai family."

Fan Huaying said, "You'd better be careful. If I am required to testify, I a.s.sure you that not only I can testify for you, but all the people here can testify for you."

Ning Tao put his arm around Fan Huaying's shoulder, which was more useful than a thank you.

Fan Huaying changed the subject. "Tao, let me introduce you to some of my friends who all need medical help. Show them your skill."

Ning Tao said, "No problem."

Introduced by Fan Huaying, Ning Tao met with several wealthy businessmen.

A rich businessman shook hands with Ning Tao. He didn't say anything, but his eyes reflected his doubts. "Doctor Ning, you're so young..."

Ning Tao said dryly, "Sir, you've got a prostate problem, so you have to go to the bathroom every half hour, right?"

The rich businessman immediately froze on the spot. He did not say yes or no, but his reaction had answered the question.

"Don't worry, since you come to me for treatment, I will give you acupuncture to cure your illness once and for all," Ning Tao said.

"Cure my illness once and for all?" The rich businessman looked surprised. He obviously didn't believe what Ning Tao said.

Without explaining it to him, Ning Tao shook hands with another rich businessman and said, "Sir, there is a blood clot on your left leg. I will remove it later, or it will be dangerous."

"Ah? How...how do you know?" This rich businessman also looked surprised. He just found out the disease yesterday. The doctor prescribed a lot of medicine, but it didn't help at all. His leg still hurt badly. He never expected Ning Tao to come up with the diagnosis that was gotten in the hospital after a long examination just by shaking his hand!

Without explanation as well, Ning Tao shook hands with the third rich businessman and gave the diagnosis. "Sir, you have stones in your gallbladder. Is the doctor recommending surgery to remove your gallbladder?"

The rich businessman gaped.

"After removing the gallbladder, your digestive system will be affected. Greasy food will make you very uncomfortable. I can break all the stones for you without surgery."

A crowd gathered around...

As long as it was a problem that could be solved with medicine, it was not a problem to Ning Tao.
